Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a late onset neurodegenerative disease of the motor neurons, leading to death within two-three years of onset. Extensive studies have thus far helped identify many genetic causes for ...

ALS is the most frequent motor neuron disorder and so far no cure has been developed for this devastating disease. ALS is characterized by the selective loss of both the upper motor neurons of the motor cortex and the lower ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common motor neuron disease, is characterized by muscle weakness and atrophy due to the degeneration of motor neurons in the motor cortex, brain stem and spinal cord. Both ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease with dismal prognosis, characterized by motor neuron loss in the patients. More than 30 genes have been reported to be involved in ALS ...

Amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious and progressive motor-neuron disease in which neurons that control voluntary muscles gradually deteriorate. Patients lose the ability to speak, move and breathe. To date, 30 ...

Alsin is a ubiquitously expressed protein with the highest levels in the central nervous system. Mutations in the alsin gene have been associated with several juvenile onset recessive motor neuron diseases. Nine out of 12 ...
